"Congratulations for your win! Ang galing niyo!"

Even if he's sweating a bit, he still looked fresh and hot. He's wearing his red jersey that hugs his body perfectly. And I love how his cheeks would turn red whenever he plays and when he received compliments. "Thank you. We enjoyed the game. It was fun."

"I'm Yeri pala. Sophomore. Part of the tennis team."

"Oh, I heard about you from Kenji," he smiled

"Really? Cool!"

My cheeks heated up. I was already contented by staring at him but then I startled when Yeri pushed me a little towards Ryu. My eyes widened in shock. I wish the ground would just swallow me whole.

"Oh, I'd like you to meet my friend, Kianna."

He shifted his attention on me. Seeing him this close again made my knees weak. Good thing, Yeri was behind me for support.

I could feel the lump forming inside my throat. "I'm..I'm K-kianna," I stuttered

My heart fluttered when he smiled at me. "Ryu," he introduced himself. "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too," I smiled shyly

"I think I've seen you before," he said. "Are you part of the Archery team?"

I blinked twice. "Uh, yes!"

Holy s**t! He remembers me!

"Pwede raw bang tingin sa buong bahay. She feel like they were under the sea.

Kulay dagat ang sahig at mga dingding. Ang mga upuan ay hungis at kulay kabebe at ang lamesa naman ay desenyong bato na kulay puti. May dalawang pinto at grand piano naman sa kanang gilid ng sala. Sa kaliwa naman ay may hagdan papunta siguro sa unang palapag ng bahay.

"I just buy it this morning."

"Totoo?" Nagkibit lang ito ng balikat. "Ganoon ba kalaki ang kinikita mo sa pagiging doctor para makabili ka ng ganito kaganda at kalaking bahay?"

"I earn million of million every day. This house is nothing." Hinila siya nito at pinaupo sa sofa na hugis kabebe. It's so soft and comfortable.

"Ang yabang natin ah." Tumawa lang ito at iniwan siya.

Alam niya na kahit hindi ito magtrabaho kaya parin nitong buhayin ang sarili. Kahit simpling maybahay lang ang mama nito alam niya na nagmula ito sa mayamang pamilya at isa ito sa magmamana. Ang daddy naman nito ay anak mayaman din. His father is the only child of Arthur Villaroman. A billionaire business man from Los Angeles, California USA. Sa bansa kung saan siya ipinanganak at nagkaisip. The same place her very own mother abandon her and after a few years she came back and take her away from her father without explaining anything.

"Hot chocolate for a beautiful lady."

"Huh?" Nagulat na lang siya na nasa tabi na niya si Leighdon. Maingat nitong ibinigay sa kanya ang tasa na may umuusok pa na hot chocolate. "T-thank you." Leighdon knew she love hot milk but she gave her hot chocolate. "I like warm milk but this will do." Kimi niya itong nginitian.

Natigilan naman ito. "I didn't know."

"I told you before but I guess you forgot about it."

"I'm sorry."

Napatawa siya. "It's okay, it doesn't matter."

Walang paalam siyang tinalikuran ni Leighdon at pumasok ito sa isa sa dalawang pinto na naroon sa beach house. Pag labas nito may dala na itong isang pares ng tsenilas at kumot at ikinumot nito iyon sa kanya.

"T-thank you." Medyo nailang siya at kinabahan ng mag-squat ito sa harap niya at kawakan ang binti niya. "T-teka, anong..."

"Your bare footed." Pinagpagan nito ang magkabila niyang talampakan na medyo na mumula. "Where's your heels?"

"N-naiwan ko sa helicopter." Pulang-pula niyang sagot. Sa sobrang katuwaan pagkakita sa dagat nawala na sa isip niya na nakapaa nga pala siya.

"Why didn't you tell me? You might hurt your feet."

"How can I? Bigla mo na lang kaya akong binuhat kaya nakaligtaan ko na iyong kunin at isuot." Medyo na iinis siya dahil parangg sinisisi siya nito pero sa kabila noon hindi niya maiwasang kiligin sa kakaibang kasweetan nito sa kanya ng mga sandaling iyon.

It just a simple gesture pero nakakataba ng puso at hindi niya mapigilang mamula. He look like his anxiously trying his best to please her and take care of her.

Sa loob ng ilang si Odalis. Nakalimutan ko silang ayain na umupo. Wala naman akong balak!

"Eh? We're not here for your brother." Vesper said coldly while looking at me. Even though they are twins they are different.

Vesper is cold and quiet type while Vester is the opposite of him. Kaya hindi nahihirapan ang mga tao makilala kung sino ang isa sa kanila.

"Then what?" I hope not m----e

"You! We're here for you because Sol ask us." Vester answer me while giving me a happy face.

'HUH?! ME?! Damn it!'

"If I didn't know who my brother is, I might believe you but can you tell him I don't like it." Si Yvron? Ha?! Sinong maniniwala sa kumag na yun?

"Woah! I didn't know Yvron little precious sister is a fierce one." Vesper comment while smirking. The Heck dude!

I stood up and said. "I'll take that as a compliment but I've been living alone without the help from the Duke. Allow me to excuse myself and enjoy your time here, Young masters." Matapos akong magsalita ay umalis na ako doon.

Pakialam ko sa kanila kung matawag man akong bastos. Tsk! This stupid class system annoys me a lot. Nagmadali akong pumunta sa kwarto ko dahil na-ha-highblood ako sa kambal na yun isama na'tin si Yvron dahil umaasta na parang may pakialam siya kay Yvaine.

Hindi ko kontrollado ang nararamdaman ni Yvaine dahil sa kanya pa rin ang katawan na'to at kaluluwa ko lang naman ang nandito at pagkatao hindi ang buong Dareen. Pumasok ako saka ito nilock dahil sasama siya dito sa akin.

Alam ko naman na si Mikay ay msy pskialam kay Yvaine pero hindi ito napansin dahil ayaw niya tumanggap sa katulad ni Yvaine dahil mahihirapan lang siyang itulak ito palayo sa kanya. Humiga na lang ako sa kama dahil mamaya ay pupuntahan ko ang base nila Yvaine.

Pumikit ako para alalahanin kung anong ginagawa ni Yvaine doon sa tuwing bibisita siya? Hindi ko namalayan ay dinalaw na pala ako ng antok dahil sa ilang gabing pagpupuyat ko.

"Let's go, Vester. She hate us." I said and stood up.

"She change ha? Well, it's a good news for his brother." Vester said and stoop up.

Umalis na lang kami dahil mukhang wala siyang balak na kausapin kami and I think she hate us to the point na iwan niya kami sa living room kahit na mas mataas rank namin kesa sa kanya. Napailing na lang ako dahil sa nakikita ko sa kanya ang pagiging palaban.

"Let's eat. I'm hungry." Rinig kong sabi ni Vester at naunang pumasok sa kotse. Tumango ako bilang sagot sa kaniya at pumasok na din sa kotse at umupo upang makaalis na kami dito.

Heto ako ngayon katatapos ko lang maligo at maghahanap ng komportableng Hartlon Castle is where I currently reside. It is said that this castle is the smallest castle of the imperial family. It was supposed to be a quarter for the knights in training, but it was quite far from the training ground, so it was left unattended for years.

Well, dahil sa pinanganak ako nagkaroon ng silbi ang castle na ito.

Time flies so fast, and now I'm 2 years old. I can now walk using my feet. No more crawling on the floor.

But there is still a problem. I still can't speak clearly. Every time I talk to Cynthia, she always pinches my cheeks because I talk too cutely, even though I didn't mean to. I look a little thin for my age, but my cheeks are a little plumper.

Kasalukuyan kaming nasa mini farm namin Cynthia dito sa bandang likod ng castle ko. Dahil sa gipit kami sa budget, naisipan ni Cynthia na magtanim ng mga gulay-gulay.

Minsan ay tinutulungan kong i-manage itong garden pero parang mas nagugulo ko lang dahil sa wala pa akong gaanong strength para makatulong ng buo kay Cynthia. Minsan naman ay tumutulong ako sa pagpitas, tulad ngayon. Pwede nang i-harvestv yung mga kamatis.

"Wow! This will be perfect for a tomato soup. What do you think, Your Highness?", ani ni Cynthia saakin.

"Yesh. tumetu shup", bago kami umalis doon sa garden ay tinulungan na muna ako ni Cynthia na alisin yung mga dumi sa mga kamay ko. "Can I pway in the flowew gawden?", damn this tongue!

"Are you sure? Do you want me to come with you?"
